[PRWeb Sep 18, 2006] http://www.prweb.com/releases/MagnumTechnologies/LiveDependencyMap/prweb438523.htm Mon, 25 Sep 2006 11:29:58 -0700 podcrew@extrahoop.com Business Service Management company which enables organizations to implement BSM and Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) frameworks in weeks - not years--today announced the release of ADVANTAGE 3.0, its next generation Discovery, Live Dependency Mapping and CMDB software. Traditional BSM tools trigger each event as a violation in need of immediate action, regardless of whether or not the ultimate impact to the business will be significant. The Live Dependency MapTM is intelligent. It segments event triggers according to their impact to the business by flagging them as ‘red” violations or as simple “yellow” advisories. This is especially appealing to companies with redundant infrastructures. If a server goes down and IT sees only an “advisory” trigger, this may be because the Live Dependency Map “understands” that end-users within the organization are protected through fault tolerance. The issue needs to be addressed, but the business is not at risk. The new Live Dependency Map module of the next generation of ADVANTAGE 3.0 BSM software clearly indicates – via a single glance - when Service Level Objectives (SLO's) and business operations will be impacted thanks to the following capabilities: • Fast auto-discovery of Layers 2 through 7 • More intuitive way of describing “Layer 8” - the business process or service • End-to-end measurement of business service performance • Impact measurement of how downtime or latency affects the business • Definitive identification of incident root causes which result in downtime • Real-time dashboard views of how technical information translates to business metrics • Drill down views into the live monitored data from the dashboard view The first step toward successful implementation of BSM is to gain an accurate, complete, and up to date view of the IT infrastructure, the business services they support and the end users who depend on it. The CMDB within ADVANTAGE 3.0 is truly revolutionary. It does more than simply measure how IT functionality may be at risk. It discovers, documents and maintains all key attributes of the Configurable Items (CI’s) that have a real impact on the business. Unlike other BSM products, ADVANTAGE 3.0 maps the relationships of the CI’s all the way to Service Levels for each specific business function, via a service dependency map. For example the ADVANTAGE 3.0 CMDB can measure definitively how much impact an SAP application has on the business. More specifically, it can measure how numerous modules within the SAP application affect various aspects of the business. Thanks to the following MAGNUM TECHNOLOGIES ADVANTAGE 3.0 capabilities, it is now possible for IT to know whether an infrastructure change will trigger a negative affect at the end user level: • Live dependency mapping which illustrates relationships between business services, CI’s and service policies • Integrated or “Federated” CMDB functionality • Immediate CI change identification and indication of how they affect a business service • Universal transformer...

According to THINKstrategies, IT enterprises that have had their credibility undercut by ongoing performance and reliability issues are turning to solutions, such as Magnum Technologies ADVANTAGE BSM software to restore credibility. ADVANTAGE restores IT credibility by producing real-time reports that correlate IT and application performance to specific lines of business (LOBs). “SLM has been around for more than a decade, with few enterprises satisfied with the results,” said Mike Ducatelli, senior vice president, Magnum Technologies. “We’re proud of the positive statements made in the report about our flagship ADVANTAGE BSM software.” THINKstrategies also points out that BSM looks to raise the SLM bar by calling on IT organizations to go beyond establishing internal and external service levels and start measuring the business value of their services. The paper also notes that without effective SLM and BSM services in place, adopting ITIL is unlikely to produce the desired results. Magnum Technologies’ addresses the pain IT enterprises currently experience, when adopting ITL, with its richly developed ADVANTAGE business service management software which: • Automates the IT component dependency mapping & discovery process • Generates detailed performance and availability metrics • Provides real-time SLM/SLA reporting • Automates the adoption of an ITIL framework THINKstrategies points to Magnum Technologies’ 3 unique capabilities to explain what sets its software apart from other BSM vendors. These capabilities include: 1. Business Service Discovery which graphically depicts the Business Service Chain linkages between all IT assets, components and applications. 2. Multi-Layer Correlation which measures the impact of IT infrastructure and application performance on corporate lines of business. This allows IT organizations to establish meaningful Service Level Objectives. 3. 3rd Party Integration which allows for easy installation into complex large-scale enterprise environments by integration with existing management platforms and tools. This allows IT organizations to derive greater value from past network management investments.
